OIL-BURNER.

' Application filed 'fi'une 3, 1919. Serial No. 301,387,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ERNEST E. EIsEN- BACH, acitizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Oil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.V

The invention relates to liquid and gaseous fuel burners and has for anobject to provide an oil burner for use in the production of heat fromoils such as kerosene and the like.

The invention comprehends among other features, the provision of an oilburner which'is particularly adapted for use in stoves and ranges, to beplaced in the fire boX thereof and connect with a suitable oil supply sothat the kerosene or other oil supplied to the burner proper, can beadapted for the heating of the stove or range, the kerosene prior to itsexit from the burner proper being preheated to be partially or whollyconverted into a gas or vapor which is then ignited and consumed at theburner proper.

Still further the invention comprehends a device which is of a simpleconstruction, and consists of few parts which can be cheaplymanufactured.

In the further disclosure of the invention, reference is to be had tothe accompanying drawings, constituting a part of this specification, inwhich similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in allthe views, and in which,"

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the burner, and

Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View taken through theburner.

Referring more particularly to the views, the numeral 10 indicates theburner in its entirety and which consists substantially of a body 11formed with suitable end pieces or bases 12, each of which is providedwith a cut-out portion 13. Between the bases 12 and forming a part ofthe body 11 are basins or flash pans 14 and the central portion of thebody is preferably asolid piece as at 15, and connects of course and isintegral with the flash pans 14, one of which is formed on each side ofthe central portion of the body. 2

A pipe has connection at 16 with a suitable oil supply (not shown) andthe pipe is bent to form a straight portion 17 and then curved to returnand form a second straight portion 18, parallel to the straight portion17 and then again curved and returned to form a straight portion 19 withthe straight portions 17, 18, 19, parallel to each other and all lyingin the same horizontal plane, the pipe being then bent downwardly as at20 to extend adjacent to one of the bases 12 and being then bent throughthe cut-out portion 13 thereof to extend beneath the base and form astraight portion 21 which has connection with a suitable T 22, disposedin a central opening 23 in the central portion 15 of the body, the upperportion of said T extending beyond the central portion ofthe body andforming a part of a burner. proper 2a which includes oppositelyextending burner pipes 25 each of which is provided with an orifice 26,the T also having orifices 27.

It will be seen by reference to the views that by having a suitable clip27 securing the straight portion 20 to one of the bases as shown, thesaid straight portion 20 forms a support for the horizontal portions 17,18, 19, which in their entirety may be termed a pre-heater, or thepre-heating portion of the supply pipe, this pro-heater being arrangedin superposed relation to the body of the burner and above the flashpans and the burner proper. The burner pipes 25, it will be seen, arealso arranged in superposed relation to the flash pans and above theburner pipes and in line with the orifices 26 thereof and the orifices27 of the T forming part of the burner, are disposed suitable deflectingdevices or spreaders 28 which are loosely mounted to turn or to slideupon the centrally disposed straight portion 19 of the preheater, whichon account of their superposed relation to the orifices of the burner,will spread the resulting flame so as to either deflect to one side orthe other, or evenly spread the flame as it rises from the burner.

In the use of the burner described, a quantity of oil or some othersuitable combustible fluid is poured into one or both of the pans 14 andignited, and assuming that a flow of oil is taking place through thesupply pipe to the pre-heater and then through the same, the heat fromthe burning fluid in the pans will heat the burner pipes and also heatthe pre-heater so that the resulting fluid passing therethrough, by thetime it reaches the burner pipes, will be in the nature of a gas orvaporWhich Will'of course burst into flame as it flows from the orifices26, 27'. This flame Will then in-turn vaporize the oil in the preheaterand thus a continuous flame at the burner is assured with a mini mumamount of smoke or soot depending entirely .upon the character ofthefluid that is employed in the burner.

I As mentioned heretofore, the burner is particularly adapted for use 1nconnectlon With stovesvand ranges, especially the usual coal bunningstoves which it is desired to convert to oil burners, although it Willof course be understood that the oil burner described and set forthherein, may be adapted for various other purposes. It Will be alsounderstood that the burner may be constructed With one or a plurality ofthe oriflees so as to provide a single or'double burner, as the case maybe.

Having described my invention, I claim 1. An oil burner comprising abody providing a flash pan, bases for the said body and supporting thelatter, a burner proper disposed above the flash pan and a pipeconnecting with the burner and extendingbeneath the flash pan andthrough a cut out portion of one of the bases to project up-v wardlyadjacent thereto, portions of said pipe being coiled above the flash panand'in superposed relation to the burner proper to form a pre-heater. I

2. An oil burner comprising a body proposed above the flash pan and apipe connecting With the burner and extending beneath the flash pan andthrough a cut out portion of'one of the bases to projectnp- \vardlyadjacent thereto, portions of said pipe being coiled above the flash panand in superposed relation to the burner proper to ported on the bodyWith one end of said pip 7 connected to said burner proper, said pipethen passing beneath the flash panand adjacent one end of the body andextending upwardly to have portion thereof bent to vidinga flash pan,bases forsaid body and supporting the latter, aiburner proper dlsformatplurality of parallel portions forma r ing a pre-heater disposed insuperposition to the flash pan and burner proper, With the straightportions of the pre-heater lying in the same horizontal plane andparallel: to each other.

In testimony whereof I-afliX my signature: i
